Ephebe
1825Summary
Ephebe is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Porocyphaceae. These lichens form dark, hair-like mats that spread across rocks and tree bark, resembling tangled black wool. Unlike many other lichens, Ephebe species partner with blue-green algae that can capture nitrogen from the air. The genus contains thirteen recognized species found in various parts of the world, from temperate regions to more tropical areas....read more on Wikipedia.
